(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 7. 10 a.m.) LONDON, March 0. This morning’s reports from Rajkot concerning the fast by Mahatma Gandhi as a .protest over the rejection of his demands for constitutional reforms, giving the people of Rajkot a voice in the administration of the State, indicate that the doctors fear that Gandhi may become unconscious at any moment. To-day he was unable to sit up in bed without an attack of giddiness. A document believed to be from the Viceroy of India, the Marquess of
Linlithgow, was delivered to Gandh to-day.
A New Delhi message states that a telegram has been sent from Gandhi + o the Viceroy. It is believed to be his reply to the Viceroy’s message. It is thought that direct correspondence .'will lead to a settlement, but much depends on whether Gandhi’s health will allow a continuation of the consultations.
